This essay exposes why China’s actions in the South China Sea ultimately target Japan, linking energy dependency, anti-nuclear movements, and media manipulation to a broader geopolitical strategy.

The other day, as the weather was perfectly clear, I headed toward Arashiyama, which I consider the garden of my home.
On the drive back, something occurred to me.

I suddenly realized the true intentions of the one-party communist dictators of China regarding their obsession with the Spratly Islands—something I had previously pondered only vaguely.

At that moment, the behavior of China’s communist rulers, Japan’s media such as the Asahi Shimbun, and the so-called cultural figures, political parties, the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, and various civic groups that had been raised on such media all came sharply into view.

I was genuinely horrified.

That is why, in the chapter where I wrote about the crudeness of Hillary Clinton, I thoroughly denounced the Asahi Shimbun.

The South China Sea is the most vital sea lane determining a nation’s survival, especially for Japan, which possesses no oil resources.

In other words, the true target of the malicious acts being carried out by China’s one-party communist rulers in the Spratly Islands was Japan.

From their peculiar worldview, surrounding countries are mere small states, hardly worth concern.
And yet, the scale of what China is doing is excessive.
Why are they committing such malicious acts?
I had long wondered vaguely about this, and surely many Japanese citizens felt the same.

Those who consume media such as the Asahi Shimbun likely did not even entertain such vague doubts.
That is why they could casually advocate foolish ideas such as opposing nuclear power.

Why are they so determined to seize control of the South China Sea—its maritime and air navigation rights?

For whom is the South China Sea a matter of life and death?

Anyone not completely brainwashed by the Asahi Shimbun and reduced to a state resembling mental ruin should immediately grasp the answer.

Even today, the world’s primary energy source is oil.
Japan is not an oil-producing nation.
Japan depends on the Middle East for its energy supply.

If the South China Sea were controlled by China, Japan would suffer catastrophic damage.

The Chinese Communist Party, unlike the truly foolish individuals who echo Asahi-style narratives, knows precisely why Japan went to war with the United States and why the Japanese military—arguably the strongest in the world at the time—was defeated.

Naoto Kan, Masayoshi Son, Mizuho Fukushima and her husband, and media outlets such as the Asahi Shimbun that initiated the immediate and total shutdown of nuclear power plants, as well as the anti-nuclear movement that continues to this day—

Anyone with a sound mind should realize that all of them were being completely manipulated by China’s one-party communist rulers.
It is a chilling realization.

The actions of the Chinese Communist Party in the South China Sea reveal just how foolish and infantile the mindset is of those in Japan—brainwashed by GHQ—who lack even the concept of national defense, when confronted with the ruthless power politics of international affairs.

The Chinese Communist Party exploited the gap created when Japan completely shut down its nuclear power plants, leaving itself naked in terms of energy security, and began advancing the realization of its ambitions.

Anti-Japanese propaganda—what they call “anti-Japanese resistance”—is a method they continue to apply to Japan and the Japanese people, just as the Nazis once applied their methods to the Jews.

And the world has continued to tacitly approve this.
That is the reality of the past seventy years after the war, and the true nature of the United Nations.

The time has long since arrived for Japan and the Japanese people to recognize this reality seriously, staking their very survival on that awareness.
